Jamboree Game Ends in 13-13 Tie

August 23, 2014

The 2014 Jamboree game ended in a 13-13 tie Friday night as the Beavers hosted the Vandalia Butler Aviators in the annual preseason matchup. This year’s Jamboree included three quarters of play. Butler scored first on a long scoring drive to take an early 7-0 lead. The drive was extended by penalty after the Beavers came up with a big stop on 3rd and 15 at midfield. But the Beavers answered quickly as Hunter Maloney broke off a 45-yard run on the first play from scrimmage to put the Beavers deep in Aviator territory. Four plays later, Hunter Steele punched it in from a yard out to put the Beavers on the board. Following the extra point by Michael Chuck, the score was tied at 7-7. Butler took the lead 13-7 in the second quarter on a 7-yard touchdown pass, but missed the extra point. That score was set up when the Aviators intercepted a pass and returned it to the Beavercreek 18-yard line. The Beavers again were able to answer the score after Logan Turben scampered 31 yards for the score, but a missed PAT left the score tied at 13-13. The Beavers open their season next Friday night at home against Xenia. Go Beavers!
